I need to get this helmet refit or something because I can't see a fucking thing and Everfall smells disgusting today.

What I noticed is pretty much all the shitters flock to purple, WTF is it with that faction?

What the fuck is wrong with the Amrine dungeon? Literally unplayable every time I've tried to run it because the mobs are so out of sync. 5 times now and my groups have just gave up after the first boss or two because it takes 5+ minutes to kill every trash pack while we flail around randomly trying to guess where the mob actually "is" compared to what we all see.

Actual boss dude is just not even possible. Last time we tried him his model just did nothing - no animations, never moved from his starting location, you'd just randomly take a couple thousand damage/get stunned/die eventually. Can't actually be done.

So I made the conversion over to Focus/Con, and added ambers to several weapons, and while I was a little underwhelmed at first because of the lack of BIG NUMBERS with 100 focus, and I do think there is something to that, its still way on the positive side. Want to try Ice gauntlet? Just find some off stat version with focus and a gem slot and boom! Now you are dropping ice storms on folks with less than hour of grinding the weapon from 1 to 8. Scatterclaw? Cave where the grizzlies spaw is great for this because the two times I have been there the grizzlies have been spawning non-stop.

Game is absolutely stunning. Really impressed with this engine, so far. Same place, different times of day.

Hmm really? I've ran it like 5x and never had an issue.

Can someone explain how arboreal works? So far I’ve gone hybrid str/focus while questing but think I’m going to have to go all focus for dungeons soon. How much of a dmg drop off can I expect if I use the arboreal thing?

Yeah same here, haven't heard anything about this and I was even hanging around outside the dungeon for quite a while also. Maybe a specific server or something issue or lag? seems weird

That's not to say there isn't a fair amount of weird pathing issues, but the instances for me have been good so far.

EDIT: 240 minute estimated maintenance, not sure on size of patch but mine downloaded 12gb?

EDIT: 12 GB patch

It is indeed server related. The patch is suppose to fix it today, per the community manager on the New World Forums. Or at least be a temporary fix (the wording isnt clear).

So Edensgrove is beautiful, but fighting the Blight in it is literal Aids. At first it acts like Corruption and ticks down and you lose health. Then all of a sudden, you're "Blighted" for 180 seconds. During this time, you cant heal yourself with potions, healing spells or Berzerk. You HAVE to use a Blight Tincture to cure it. This fucking shit reminds me of Rabies from EverQuest and is outright obnoxious in comparison to everything else in the game. Made as many pots as I had materials on hand for, then when I ran out of pots - I just made a camping spot and suicided to finish the last few missions. Ended up leaving Edensgrove because of that shit and went to Ebonscale and that place "so far" seems much more tolerable. Gorgeous zone again, but it doesnt have that dumb blighted shit every corner. They "should" decrease the timer on the Blighted debuff down to 30 seconds, or a minute and increase the resistance modifier on the tinctures to twice its current length, if not longer. Edensgrove is another 30 second to 1 minute respawn timer zone btw, so if you decide to do it - you're going to be potion heavy with Angry Earth and Corrupted coatings and also with Blighted Tinctures.

I mean, maybe they intend for the game to be played this way. Cause if it wasnt for super short respawns and shit like the Blighted, I'd rarely ever use potions. But then again, I can just sit on my ass in Windfall and just do the town board and fish in between and level that way. I was doing that before the server went down and went from half way into 51 to halfway into 52 in an hour and a half.

  • Fixed a rare issue where players could enter state where they could not be hit by most attacks.
  • Fixed an issue where certain item containers could be looted infinitely.

/laugh

I wish I had found one of those containers. 10,000 flux? Yes please. I wish they would fix the occasional issue with my inability to hit mobs.

finally got cloth up to 100 for the new bag. I should have gotten a cobbler achievement for all the shoes I made.

The bug that just irritates me the most is mining. There are nodes that for some reason will not let me mine them unless I do this dance over the top and around to the right then back over the node to the left and LET ME FUCKING MINE THE DAMN THING!!!!!!!

Having fun otherwise so far. I have yet to even engage in PvP.

Having more health matters a lot in pvp but so does dodging. One well timed dodge and sidedtep strafe can change a fight.

If you'd like to PL your weapon skills go to this location in Restless Shore. Boars are plentiful and respawn even quicker than most mobs. There's usually a ton of people there too to make it easier.

Most of these places were complained about on the forums by people claiming it was exploiting the spawn rate. I would expect these to be 'fixed' after the patch today. I'm not sure I would bother unless you are looking for a possible ban because it's certainly public and controversial. It gets mentioned in faction chat several times a day. Is a bear spot and a couple named that all are the same and packed with people.

Yeah wtf Blight. Also. the middle tier Blight potions don't do jack shit to help you. This is yet another reason why eventually everyone will be Weapon X + Amber + Lifestaff.

Get a group of people together, 5+, then just farm whichever Elite zone is appropriate. Really fast Weapon XP.

Edit: When we will servers be back up?

I don't read those forums, but I expected as much. Personally I don't think it's an "exploit" per se; it's more about their dumb respawn rates and playing the game as is.

If they ban a person for playing the game at a spot in the world with a high respawn rate, then they're risking a PR nightmare IMHO.

It's a week in and I'm still enjoying the game very much.

Seems to happen when you are fighting on a slope.
One way I found to work around it was to change weapons to my gun. Once the mob is hit by my gun, suddenly my hatchet works again. I do think terrain issues create the bug. It might even be related to the mining node dance bug and the issues with plants and trees not going away after being harvested.
